Siltec platform
scales are a great economical choice to meet your weighing needs for a
parcel/shipping scale.

Siltec scales
have been meeting the weighing needs of shipping departments and freight
companies for many years providing excellent weighing results for substantially
less than other scale manufacturers.

All scales
are tested and calibrated for linearity to ensure your Siltec scale weighs accurate over the full ranging range
of the scale. Siltec scales are NOT Legal For Trade (NTEP/Type
III approved) and should not be used in weighing applications where
goods (i.e. fruits & vegetable) are sold by weight. We offer
a large selection of Legal
for Trade scales to comply with weight & measures inspector's
requirements.

All Siltec
platform scales offer a bright
red LED display (click to see close-up of display) for easy
reading and a tare function to allow you to subtract the weight of your carton, crate or box enabling
you to weigh the contents of the parcel. Additional features include:
selectable weighing modes in either pounds or kilograms by pressing the
"LB/KG" keypad on the indicator and operator on either AC or
battery.

A unique
feature with all the Siltec PS & WS Series is when the scale is operated
on either AC adapter or Battery there is no "Auto Shut-Off" feature.
Other manufacturer's design their scales with an Auto Shut-Off which turns
the scale OFF after 3 to 5 minutes of no activity. This feature
saves battery power, but it becomes cumbersome to always have to turn
the scale ON everytime you go to use the scale. Eliminating the
Auto Shut-Off feature was requested from clients that use the Siltec line
for shipping boxes and needing to determine the weight. Too much
time was wasted everytime a person wanted to weigh a parcel and had to
turn ON the scale. There is a benefit by eliminating the "Auto Shut-Off"
feature, but with this design one just needs to press the OFF button when
the scale is not going to be used for a long period of time.

Hospitals,
doctor's offices, healthcare providers and other healthcare professionals
are using the WS-Series, PS500L and PS5AP to monitor the weight of their
obese patients without spending $500 - $1000. The PS500L is extremely
popular with visiting nurses since the unit only weighs 9 pounds and is
extremely portable. The scale fits perfectly in a book bag and is
a cinch to use especially since it operates on either batteries or AC
adapter. Read more about some of the great
features the Siltec line offers for weighing large people and helping
you decide if the WS-Series, PS500L or PS5AP is better for you.
We also carry the SECA Professional Digital
Healthcare Scale and the mechanical
Health-O-Meter physician scales.

Siltec WS-Series offers a large 15" x 15" x 2.7" weighing platform.
This scale was originally designed for performance racing industry for
chassis setup applications. It is extremely crucial to have proper
weight distribution for performance race cars to handle properly.

Now Precision
Weighing Balances offers this same scale as a low cost alternative to
purchasing an expensive floor scale or crane
scale for companies shipping crates and cargo parcels. Some
clients purchase two scales and straddle the load across the two weighing
platforms and add the two weights displayed on each indicator to determine
the total weight. Additional uses include calculating the center
of gravity of small aircraft using 2 or 3 WS Series scales for each wheel
of the plane. Other applications include load distribution on a
structure.

The entire
line of Siltec bench scales incorporate heavy-duty load cell technology in the base. The WS1000L is extremely popular for people weighing
over 500 pounds. Surf and search the internet, but we doubt if you
can find another high capacity bench scale for less. Get a better
prospective of the platform size here.
